Cuba Gooding nailed the accent.

Hot Dog! You're on a Roll! :

LOL! I was up until I took a week's vacation in Cuba! I have some catching up to do now!!!

Yeah, take that Will Smith and Oprah. God forbid you guys can become superstars and multi-millionaires. You have to "stay genuine", and never change, even if it means staying dirt poor or mediocre. Conforming to some vague notion of "blackness" is more important than personal achievement.

And fuck Obama too, and Ursula Burns, and any other black person with talent, drive and determination, who happens to have charisma and appeals to other races. And god forbid someone undergoes personal transformation and change to succeed, especially in a society where the chips are stacked against them on day 1. No, it's better to know one's place.

Yeah, Barack, Ursula, Will and Oprah, even though you guys are actually transforming what it means to be african american and black by kicking down barriers, so that black kids can feel they can do anything and be anyone, FUCK YOU.

Will, you should still be rapping about Philly with the other ol' skool rappers on tour on the c-circuit. Oprah, you should still be doing "who's the father!!" shows and competing with Jerry Springer and Maury. Ursula, wasn't middle management enough? And Barack my man, you did much more good as a community organizer.

C, your premise and line of thinking is ridiculous. Can you explain to me what role is acceptable for a black man? You castigate Will Smith for being weak then complain about Samuel Jackson and Denzel Washington? These guys aren't flava flav for gods sake.

Please forgive me for not seeing your sarcasm, if that's what this is. >> ^chingalera:

When it comes right down to it, who really gives a fuck why Will Smith back-slapped a reporter, or why the reporter decided to kiss him. All that really matters is that Will Smith, one of the whitest black men in America, will never get any revenue from me, as I plan to download the film from many of my friends around the world who won;t shed a tear when Hollywood dies.
He can join the other list of sell-out negroes in Hollywood who have taken the $Bait$ and become masters of a weak stereotypical representation of the African-American male.
There's the ultimate hero negro: Denzel Washington, Jim Brown, (AKA, The Victim of Society Negro
The Superhero Negro: Wesley Snipes, Samuel L. Jackson, Laurence Fishburne
The Historical Hero negro Cuba Gooding Jr., Denzel Washington, Will Smith
The Sidekick negro-Sam Jackson, Morgan Freeman, Don Cheadle
Cop/Psychologist/Social Worker Negro-Sydney Poitier, Whoopi Goldberg
and then there's the , "Only African-American female to ever win an Academy Award for best actress getting ass-raped negress, Halle Berry
Fuck Will Smith, he's another total sell-out.

Actually, I am not that well travelled.

Deustchland? Is that Germany? I think I'll start.

What would it be like if we all did this? I love the idea.

It's one of my biggest pet peeves, how folks from other countries don't pronounce a country's name the way the country does.
Cuba. Kooo-ba.
I was talking to a Cuban citizen in Heathrow Airport (I'm American) and when I asked where he was from he said, "Kooo-ba." Then did a mental shake, and said "Er, Cue-ba." I was shocked that my entire nation mispronounces his country's name, and he feels like he should CORRECT HIMSELF for my benefit.
This is wrong on so many levels, I can't hardly stand it.
It has been Kooo-ba ever since for me. And I listen carefully for other country's CORRECT NAME.
Ironically -- humorously -- the United States of America -- the United States -- can actually be translated into other languages, so I don't hold other country's to my own personal standard.
Have you ever heard a Southern say "Italian"? "Eye-talian." My father, with a Masters Degree in Engineering from MIT, say "Eye-talian." "High-why-yah."
My god.


So... you don't ever say Germany?

I agree that it's cool to say things in the "local" language, but a lot of the time you're basically pronouncing the country's name in English rather than in the local language. Like Polska vs Poland, Ukraine vs Україна etc :

Which is one of the reasons I limit the amount of dollars I give to the US. As a Canadian, I'll spend my tourism dollars elsewhere thank you. I've been to Cuba a few times, it is a lot easier and nicer going through customs there, than the US. Just don't try and smuggle cigars and rum out, then you get a tough time. =)

Giant banks fund OBAMA more.

Why should the government have student loans in the first place?

If there were competition then there might be better savings.

But since this piece likes to cut out the middle man ( since government can do it better) then why stop at the banks. Why not let government take over every corporation / business. Then they would put a stop to greedy profits and those who pay no tax. Singe me up, I'm there baby.

Government run everything. Sounds great. Oh wait the USSR did that. How did that work out. Not to good. Ok then lets look at China, North Korea and Cuba They still got that total Government control thing going. They have a real utopia going on in those places.


I can't wait for USA to be under total government control. OBAMA 2102 all the way baby. Democrats all the way. Teach those stupid selfish Republicans and Liberty loving Tea Party fools that a government provided meager subsistence is way better than self reliance. For the life of me I can"t understand why any Cuban would risk life and swim from Cuba to Florida.

I think I was most impressed with Cuba Gooding Jr. I must have seen that movie a million times and I never had any idea until just now.

Well and of course we know #1 actually can be continued as for some reason there seemed to already be people there.

So in fact they probably found it first a LONG time ago up by Alaska's volcanic chain via the Russia/Alaska land-bridge that would have existed there for a time; plus someone would have to fill me in but I'm not entirely sure where the Polynesians "may" fit into all of this--as I know they were also known to be GREAT seamen and went very far on extremely small vessels (the ones I'm thinking of you actually have your legs in the water and it carries about six people and is designed sort of like an odd Catamaran)--Hawaii for example was settled into by 300-500 CE. Then the Vikings in Greenland, Canada, and North America (I think just Maine and a few points in Newfoundland--they also didn't stick around for long in these areas as they left these "western" camps to go back to Greenland for the winter). Finally, Columbus made it who sailed around The Caribbean a bit (basically Cuba then Haiti I think; if I remembered right--after coming from the Canary Islands).

There may even be more history to it as unfortunately we know how history is written AND if you don't have that much of a language and worse no paper or way to reference or keep track of old material, telling your story becomes VERY hard as it was never recorded in the first place. All we have left is archeology to help guide us to these newer, more exact figures and finders.

BUT, Columbus did find the first real trade route for 15th century Europe to a "New World", one that had its own spices and plenty of bounty, and THAT is what meant everything. THIS is what people should remember, not that he found it first or the round Earth garbage--that is just bad teachers and even worse (as I READ THEM) terrible history books!

A socialist nation with an enfranchised church and a hereditary monarch as head of state? Pull the other one.

Yeah, it's socialist. Not quite Cuba, but still...
The English are denied the right to defend their lives with firearms. There's cameras everywhere keeping everyone "safe". Freedom of speech has been shackled a hundred times over. When a government owns your health, it owns YOU.
The welfare state continues unabated. Please take Obama as a parting gift, we'll throw in Biden for free.

>> ^FlowersInHisHair:
You think that Britain is socialist!?

I thought socialism would have turned England into a utopian paradise by now!

Operation Northwoods 1962-was a planned(never executed, so they say)false-flag op, which described the use of various techniques of creating insurgency with a view to starting a full-scale war. Included in their mixed-bag:Fabricating the hijacking or shooting down of passenger and/or military planes, sinking U.S. ships near Cuba,etc.
\False-flag ops now-a-days, after 9-11, 40 years later??-They (CIA, Mossad,etc.) get better and better and better at what they do, including giving the general public just enough information that they remain completely oblivious to what is actually happening, hence, "What you think you know about a world event or fact of history, is rendered meaningless based on inadequate intelligence(information)."
All they believe the general population "needs to know" is who they will be coerced through manipulation of media into electing. This after grooming and providing a group of candidates that can ultimately be persuaded to follow any agenda they decide.
Iran will be bombed by Israel very soon-The middle east will remain a region controlled through means described above, and your "vote" on the matters, mean "fuck all."
